I am afraid the puzzle is much more crypto cipher than logically looking for the path like you do.


Perhaps you are right (I didn't check because I found no indications wrt looking at files with particular tools),
but I gave my reasoning why I believe it's not the case.


Don't forget that when you use binary view and load up the lto.mp3 file, looking on hexa decimal values translated to ASCII, you see at the beginning ID3.....vPRIV....PeakValue....PRIV.... That seems more like crypto cipher clue, right? I was thinking more like looking for some peak values of that .mp3 peak frequency spectogram or something like that... or maybe there is some tool to see some peak values of colours in the image? Just a thought...


Afaics you are focused only on .mp3 for now?
And yet you struggle which tools to use, and can't make nothing of it.
IMO then there should be clues about which tools to use. Try looking for that.

Now if you are indeed correct, you would also need to do something similar to the image.
And why then would this be a basic puzzle?
How many people have skill to do it?

Hint is "dont forget the Music !" which implies that something else is also a clue.

Can PeakValue and other strings also be found in other mp3 files? see edit below
Did you try downloading original mp3 (or just take first 18 seconds from the youtube video, and save it as mp3) and compare to lto.mp3?

IMO messing with files like that without clues about which tools to use is challenging.
So it has to be something simpler than that.

EDIT 2:




So probably not a clue, but ordinary tags?
All of the presented strings could be found here:
